That would have been fitting, in a way. I mean, remember how McCain himself, inadvertently dropped bombs on his own plane carrier, causing many deaths?
Throughout this ridiculous McCain ceremony, my thoughts and prayers were actually and exclusively with the forgotten victims of the USS Forrestal, RIP.
Quote: " Some of those who were on the Forrestal and other persons familiar with the ordnance told me that because the rocket did not hit McCain’s craft, only actions by the pilot could have caused any bomb to fall from McCain’s Skyhawk. These sources—who spoke under the condition that they not be publicly identified—agree with each other that, if any bomb fell from the McCain airplane, it was because of actions that he took either in error or panic upon seeing the fire on the deck or in his hasty exit from the plane. Two switches in the cockpit of a Skyhawk need to be thrown to drop such a bomb, according to the sources.
Whatever the circumstances of the fire’s origins, McCain did not stay on deck to help fight the blaze as the men around him did. With the firefighting crew virtually wiped out, men untrained in fighting fires had to pick up the fire hoses, rescue the wounded or frantically throw bombs and even planes over the ship’s side to prevent further tragedy. McCain left them behind and went down to the hangar-bay level, where he briefly helped crew members heave some bombs overboard. After that, he went to the pilot’s ready room and watched the fire on a television monitor hooked to a camera trained on the deck.
McCain has never been asked to explain why he claims that the Zuni rocket struck his plane. If a bomb or bombs subsequently fell from McCain’s plane as he has said, it seems to strongly suggests pilot error, and if a bomb or bombs did not fall from his plane, it suggests rash disregard for important facts in his accounts of the accident.
There is plenty more about this story that raises questions about McCain’s truthfulness and judgment. In the first hours after the fire, he apparently did not claim to have been injured. New York Times reporter R.W. Apple, who helicoptered out to the ship the day after the tragedy and sought out McCain as the “son and grandson of two noted admirals,” never mentioned him being wounded, although he reported on him more than on any other crew member. This would be an odd omission on Apple’s part if McCain indeed had been wounded, given that service wounds are usually highlighted in such reports "
Quote:The US military says it is cancelling $300m (£230m) in aid to Pakistan over what it calls Islamabad's failure to take action against militant groups.
President Donald Trump has previously accused Pakistan of deceiving the US while receiving billions of dollars.
Pentagon spokesman Lt Col Koné Faulkner said the US military would aim to spend the money on other "urgent priorities".
The move, which needs to be approved by US Congress, is part of a broader suspension announced in January.
The US state department has criticised Pakistan, a key ally, for failing to deal with terrorist networks operating on its soil, including the Haqqani network and the Afghan Taliban.
"We continue to press Pakistan to indiscriminately target all terrorist groups," Col Faulkner said in a statement on Saturday, adding that the $300m aid - which had earlier been suspended - should be used elsewhere due to "a lack of Pakistani decisive actions" in tackling the issue.
The announcement comes just days before US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is due to visit Pakistan to meet the country's new prime minister, Imran Khan.
In January, the US government announced it was cutting almost all security aid to the country.
The US and others have long complained that Pakistan provides a safe haven to militant networks, allowing them to carry out cross-border attacks in Afghanistan - something that Islamabad denies.
Separately on Friday, the US said it was ending all funding for the UN's Palestinian refugee agency - the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa) - which it described as "irredeemably flawed".
Who are the militants Pakistan is alleged to support?
The Haqqani network is a militant group that focuses most of its activities on neighbouring Afghanistan, which has complained for years that Pakistan allows it to operate unimpeded from its soil across the border.
The group is linked to the Afghan Taliban - a hardline Islamic movement that poses a major threat to the Afghan government. Pakistani Taliban groups, while associated with the Afghan Taliban, focus on attacks within Pakistan.
Both the Haqqani Network and the Afghan Taliban have launched attacks in Afghanistan that have killed US forces, and US officials have long argued that Pakistan, and specifically its ISI intelligence service, provides safe havens to them.
Why would Pakistan support them?
Pakistan has long been accused of using the Afghan Taliban to further its foreign policy interests in the country. The ISI first became involved in funding and training militants in Afghanistan after the Soviet invasion in 1979.
Although since 2001 Pakistan has allowed its territory to be used to supply international troops during the war in Afghanistan, and co-operated with the West in fighting some terrorists groups like al-Qaeda, analysts say it has continued to give shelter and support to Afghan insurgents.
Its aim has been to limit the influence in Afghanistan of its chief regional rival, India.
Edit. Randy Quaid isn't crazy after all. Since Trump got elected, he's looking healthy and better especially considering the amount of weight he lost (50 lbs via Keto diet). Randy is obviously a rabid Trump/MAGA supporter who really wants to see the President bring down the entire Hollywood, MSM, the Cabal, etc.
He's having a blast making short video clips related to Trump's tweets:

Sure, but how come when a "Liberal" dies in a suspicious way, the media are very quick to point the finger at poisoning, nerve agents, novishock, the Rrrussians, etc - but when a Conservative fighter like Breitbart dies (on the very day he was to release damning evidence on Barry), the media immediately guarantee us it's a classic heart attack?
It's much more likely that Barry ordered Breitbart terminated, than "the Russians" would be spraying forgotten nobodies with cold-war stuff in London or some.
I mean, if I were the new head of the CIA, I would look into the matter of Obama-approved executions with some acute interest. Just my two cents
Looks like Canada just got a "nudge" in social media speak...
President Donald Trump on Saturday took aim at unfair trade practices in a series of tweets after the U.S. and Canada failed to reach Friday’s deadline to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). https://www.breitbart.com/economics/2018...bad-deals/
“Remember, NAFTA was one of the WORST Trade Deals ever made. The U.S. lost thousands of businesses and millions of jobs,” President Trump wrote. “We were far better off before NAFTA – should never have been signed. Even the Vat Tax was not accounted for. We make new deal or go back to pre-NAFTA!”
“We shouldn’t have to buy our friends with bad Trade Deals and Free Military Protection!” the president wrote moments later.
Thud heard across Oh Canada as CiC Trump drops the Mic.

Better call Trump and tell him to call the whole thing off. Cant have you paying an extra dollar for your hotel room and an extra cent for a beer while youre travelling.
I'm one of those who has switched off from following the day-to-day. It's quite possible there will never be the perp walks we want, and the war with the deep state will never make it into the public consciousness or mainstream history books. However, the game is Trump's survival and whether he can fulfill enough of his agenda to be considered a success on his terms. And right now, it's all about the mid-terms. Anything Mueller and Trump have up their sleeves will be timed for an October surprise (broadly speaking - it might just be September) so just hold tight.
Quote:ICE arrests 364 criminal aliens and immigration violators in 30-day enforcement surge in 6 Midwestern states
CHICAGO — Federal officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested 364 criminal aliens and immigration violators in six Midwest states during a 30-day enforcement action, which ended Friday.
During this operation, ERO deportation officers made arrests in the following states: Illinois (134), Indiana (52), Kansas (43), Kentucky (60), Missouri (42) and Wisconsin (33). Of the 364 arrested, 187 had criminal convictions. Eighteen women and 346 men were arrested.
Aliens arrested during this operation are from the following 25 countries: Belarus (1), Bosnia-Herzegovina (1), Burma (1), Colombia (1), Czech Republic (2), Dominican Republic (1), Ecuador (2), El Salvador (2), Germany (1), Guatemala (54), Guinea (1), Haiti (1), Honduras (40), India (6), Jordan (1), Lithuania (1), Mexico (236), Moldova (1), Nicaragua (1), Nigeria (3), Peru (2), Poland (1), Romania (1), Saudi Arabia (1) and Ukraine (2).
More than half of the aliens arrested by ERO deportation officers during this operation had prior criminal histories that included convictions for the following crimes: assault, attempted murder, burglary, child neglect, child sexual exploitation, domestic violence, driving under the influence, drug possession, drug trafficking, fraud, hit and run, identity theft, illegal re-entry after deportation, indecent liberty with a minor, money laundering, obstructing justice, obstructing police, perjury prostitution, rape, sexual assault, theft, trespassing, and weapon offenses.
Seventy-one of those arrested were immigration fugitives; 97 others illegally re-entered the United States after having been previously deported, which is a felony. Depending on an alien’s criminality, an alien who re-enters the United States after having been previously deported commits a felony punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison, if convicted.
Following are criminal summaries of six offenders arrested in the ICE Chicago area of responsibility during this operation:
July 24: ICE arrested a 46-year-old Mexican man in Wood Dale, Illinois. He is a convicted felon for attempted murder. He remains in ICE custody pending his removal.
July 26: ICE arrested a 27-year-old Honduran man in Independence, Missouri. Earlier this year, he was convicted of domestic assault. He also is a convicted burglar. He remains in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
July 27, ICE arrested a 37-year-old Mexican man in Bardstown, Kentucky. He is a convicted felon for rape and was previously removed; he later illegally re-entered the U.S.
July 30: ICE arrested a 25-year-old man from India in Champaign, Illinois. He was convicted of criminal sexual abuse on July 30. He remains in ICE custody pending his removal.
Aug. 6: ICE arrested a 25-year-old Honduran man in Indianapolis. He is a convicted felon for rape. He remains in ICE custody pending his removal.
Aug. 15: ICE arrested an 18-year-old Honduran man in Indianapolis. He is wanted in Louisiana for child rape charges. He remains in ICE custody pending his extradition to Louisiana.
Aug. 22: ICE arrested a 26-year-old Guatemalan man in Shelbyville, Kentucky. He was arrested earlier this month for distributing child pornography. He remains in ICE custody pending his removal.
The Chicago area of responsibility includes the six states of Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri and Wisconsin.
“This operation targeted criminal aliens, public safety threats, and individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws,” said Ricardo Wong, field office director for ICE ERO Chicago. “Operations like this reflect the vital work our ERO officers do every day to protect our communities, uphold public safety and protect the integrity of our immigration laws. We will continue to devote the full efforts of our agency to protecting citizens and enforcing federal immigration law. Communities are safer today because of the hard work done by the men and women of ERO.”
All of the targets in this operation were amenable to arrest and removal under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act.
ICE deportation officers carry out targeted enforcement operations daily nationwide as part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to protect the nation, uphold public safety, and protect the integrity of our immigration laws and border controls.
These operations involve existing and established Fugitive Operations Teams.
During targeted enforcement operations, ICE officers frequently encounter other aliens illegally present in the United States. These aliens are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and, when appropriate, they are arrested by ICE officers.

Well, since the fools decided to trash Trump/MAGA, this is how the funeral actually look like...
McCain got captured while some people (Trump) were living in luxury.
The comedy writes itself. This is what really should have gone down at his eulogy:
For the ignorant, McCain is a failed soldier who finished near dead last in military school and comes from a line of a traitorous military patriarchy. Getting shot down is a mark of his incompetency and that's the equivalent of a boat captain deciding to chug a case of Jagermeisters and crashing into a field of rocks. Rather than calling the idiots out you miraculously are lionized as a brave war hero/boat captain for beating the odds. His death is only being used to harass Trump. Michael Tracy couldn't have said it any better "McCain Holy Week." There's even some speculation that McCain was transported to Gitmo for punishment or that he committed suicide. Regardless, John McCain led a pathetic life and we hope that there's no wall or dang fence in his cemetery so that his opponents can piss on his grave for the remainder of the Trumpenreich.
At this point any liberals that have bashed Bush (looking at you Michael Moore) have to stop and think and maybe contemplate registering as independents. Then again cognitive decline is common with aging.
I agree, I'm more in the camp of "official" deaths listed and softer methods like pulling Brennan's security clearance. The public simply isn't ready to see what's really going on and in a perfect world there would be mass hangings and perp walks. Maybe McCain actually is in Gitmo and being tortured. Maybe that would explain his daughter's seething rage at Trump. I think the war on the deep state has been happening, especially ever since that EO citing human rights violators will have their assets seized.
Or Trump is with "them" and McCain is in some elite island enjoying anti aging technology for being a member of the depraved. Who knows? All we can do is live our lives to the fullest. Maybe we and our children are doomed to living our lives as slaves. I'm just batting this idea around, I'm still in the camp of the deep state is getting their just desserts behind the scenes.

Dont forget Scalia. Im convinced he was killed so they could get a liberal majority on the Supreme Court.
He was certainly murdered for nefarious reasons, but I'm not sure if that was it.
PLEASE, please, guys - don't go there.
As the Wiki entry on Breitbart states, "An autopsy by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office showed that he had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with focal coronary atherosclerosis, and died of heart failure...."
And Andrew's surviving family indicated that he had a "history of heart problems," albeit only diagnosed the previous year. "People who have had heart disease at are at a higher risk of having further heart disease," said Dr. Lawrence Phillips, a cardiologist and assistant professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York. --AP https://abcnews.go.com/Health/HeartDisea...d=15825103
I researched his death as possibly suspicious back in 2012 after it happened, because Andrew Breitbart was rather young to die at roughly 43 or so. But I also recall that he had relatives die of heart disease prematurely, which to me, seals to autopsy findings as "Not suspicious," but natural.
Finally, Wikipedia goes briefly covers the fear and intrigue that is might have been suspicious:
Quote:Unproven conspiracy theories have circulated about his death, including by former UK MP Louise Mensch.[52][53] The toxicology report showed, "No prescription or illicit drugs were detected. The blood alcohol was .04%. No significant trauma was present and foul play is not suspected."[51] Bill Whittle, a friend of Breitbart, had said that Breitbart had a "serious heart attack" just months before his death.[54]
I expect big corporations give a big fuck you to their core demographics - comics, video games, Star Wars etc. But those companies are billion-dollar-enterprises who can absorb the shock.
Small restaurants and tourist towns should have been smarter - if most of your customers are not single mothers, minorities, blue-haired feminists and hipsters, then you better keep your politics to yourself. The same goes for Trump-supporters or Red Pill guys whose customers are progressives (the case of those seduction bloggers who ran a coffee shop frequented mostly by liberals).
You simply don't take a dump in the soup of of your customers.

Sure, but remember these progressive types aren't progressive (usually) because of some strong moral stand. They legitimately believe that they're following the herd. That's why they get so bent out of shape when it turns out that, no, not everyone believes their demented bullshit.
It's too late for the Red Hen to learn, but perhaps they'll serve as an appropriate example to others.

My guess is that 70-80% of the tourists in the area and in the Red Hen were either conservative, Republican, Trump-supporters or at least moderate normies who would not kick out either Hillary nor Trump staffers.
So they essentially kicked 80% of their target demographic in the nuts - even if they were some middle-road democrats.
But yeah - they likely believed in the media bias thinking that this was shared by almost everyone.

Breitbart's death was a real blow. But that cannot make is suspicious without factual support.
They say Seth Rich was robbed but they did not take his wallet.
After those Podesta emails, I am not convinced Scalia's death was not foul play. Scalia likely had more enemies than Trump does. Motives and opportunity are completely maxed out as factors, we need only know more in terms of proof.
Even the way he died, where he was located, body transported, and the things that happened immediately afterward are suspicious as well.
He had no business going somewhere so remote with no witnesses around. He got caught slipping. Deepstate in full force was more than willing to take him out so Obama could stack the court with more fat gay women. We are lucky the Republicans were able to stall long enough, then we got lucky again, when Hillary lost, something they thought at the time was a for sure thing.
